Forums - Gaming Discussion - Wii U Is Better Value Than Xbox One or PS4, Nintendo Exec Says

Blob said:
Sigh, didn't anyone read this quote from reggie the other day? "Don't buy our console, it's shit!"

Arrogance? Denial? Prehaps the guys just doing his job trying to sell people a console. Judging by a lot of comments in here most of you would make terrible PR people....

Its one thing to make a comment that helps put your company and product in a better light, it's another to just put out a comment that obviously most consumers disagree with. I suppose he has the right to say what he wants but how is it good PR when he knows most of the gaming world disagrees with him at the moment.Had this been Phil Spencer, he would have gotten the same treatment, if not worse and deservingly so.

Nintendo still has a lot to offer to consumers in my opinion, they just need to stop worrying about these daily "Wii U is dead" articles and take a few more risks. Xbox is behind and has begun to take a shit ton of risks and obviously it's working. They have a shit ton of games that are exclusive to the Japanese people, games that other markets desperately want to play and instead of bringing those over, they keep re-releasing the same old Mario platformers.

Phil spencer can say this if he wants, thats his job, and unless he starts says the PS4 and Wii U are terrible consoles he doesnt really deserve to cop this kind of treatment. The kind of people who have issues with these kind of statements are the ones that spend too much time on the front lines of the console wars.

I agree Nintendo needs to take a risk or two, maybe even rethink their strategies. However I don't think they can possibly attmept to loss lead like Microsoft is at the moment, they don't have microsoft money.



Watch it Reggie, you almost offended me. I was going to insult your name because of what you said but that would be putting myself in the same level as you. I am better than you monster.



"I've Underestimated the Horse Power from Mario Kart 8, I'll Never Doubt the WiiU's Engine Again"

Well, they have the highest rated first party exclusives this gen, so in terms of which console has the best games that you cannot find anywhere else, Reggie has a point.

Can I play GTA V, COD Advanced Warfare, AC Unity, FarCry 4, Dragon Age Inquisition, FIFA 15, NBA 2k15, Destiny, Shadows of Mordor, Diablo 3 and/or I could play in the future games like The Witcher 3, Batman Arkham Knight, MGS V, FF XV, KH 3 on a WiiU Mr Fils-Aime??

If the answer is NO, then WIIU DOESN'T REPRESENTS THE BEST VALUE OF ALL HOME CONSOLES AVAILABLE TODAY, even if Nintendo was selling it at 200$ with 5 games....And don't even try to talk about Bayonetta 2 because even WiiU owners don't give a shit about that game...

Nintendo as a game developer is the best in the world, Nintendo WiiU as a game console is the worst value for current gen consoles BY FAR, and considering the sales, is obvious most people think the same.

He should try stop being so arrogant because Nintendo best times have passed.


Can I play Mario kart 8, Pikmin 3, Bayonetta 2, Smash, 3D World, Wind Waker, Lego City, Zombie U, Hyrule Warriors and/or I could play in the future games like Starfox, Zelda, Splatoon, Yoshi, Xenoblade on a PS4 or X1?

 

See, anyone can do the same. I'm not saying Wii U is better value than PS4/X1 but is not arrogance, is his job


You basically named the 100% games available now, and probably 80-90% of the best games WiiU will have in its entire cycle. On PS4 and XBO I just named a few of the games you can play only this year and just a few you'll play in the next years, I don't even named exclusives for PS4 and XBO. I was nice, compassionate with WiiU,  but if I did with PS4/XBO the same as you did with WiiU I could name at least more than 100 games (good and big seller games) you won't play on WiiU ever.

The games I listed that you can't play on WiiU right now are the biggest sellers and most essential to most of the console gamers. Nintendo fans think that the baseline for Nintendo homeconsoles sales is Wii, but the reality is that it was always like WiiU since Playstation came in 1994. N64, GC and WiiU have the same pros and cons. You can play some of the best games ever from Nintendo (and they're just a few...), but nothing more. 

The thing with Nintendo homeconsoles is not the games that you can play, is the games that you can't. Wii was the exception to the rule.

And Fils-Aime is arrogant because he's is the first that is making a comparison with the competition saying they're better. Even if it was true, that's by defintion arrogance. I know is his job to sell their product, but to me, being arrogant is not the best way for Nintendo right now.

For me personally it's definitely not.



Add me on Xbox: DWTKarma 

Just between the current gen then just for now, yes. Lets see if Reggie will still say the same thing again next year for winter 2015. On paper it sounds like the better value no doubt but that's never the case just like PS3 & 360 or DS and PSP.



He wouldn't say otherwise. But funny part is he saying sw have been selling the hw while it actually is bombing. Maybe he needs more than Sw.
About valeu, pstv offers more for less and people don't buy it in droves as well.

Azzanation: "PS5 wouldn't sold out at launch without scalpers."

He is right. MK8 sold because HD graphics. I can't imagine how much it could have sold if it was as good as MK64.



Proud to be the first cool Nintendo fan ever

Number ONE Zelda fan in the Universe

DKCTF didn't move consoles

Prediction: No Zelda HD for Wii U, quietly moved to the succesor

Predictions for Nintendo NX and Mobile


Do NOT FORGET: the Wii U has the BEST (ONLINE) SPORTS TITLE EVER!!

Wii Sports Cub is simply amazing and should be shown to every Wii owner. Of which more than 30 mio. (!!!) bought Wii Sports Resort and so have the needed WiiMotion+ !
